Server merger now please

Hello, the title says it all. I would just like to know how long it is going to take for the servers to merge. I do not want to wait the entire month I paid for, with such little people online.

I was running around ulduh and I came across maybe 20 people. Please let it happen soon

logging in now -- i'm sure i'll feel your pain shortly.

You can't observe population and trends after a day -- They specifically stated they're going to observe how things go after payment goes live if a merger is needed.

You can't tell after a day the exact figures. But you can tell in 10 seconds that there is almost no one in town

Dude, you're not even online.

Weeks away but would be nice to have 2000 people running around, maybe go from 18 down to 8 severs?

375 online @ Rabanastre. We're cool.

222 on Wutai atm, so would need 9 more Wutai's to make a 2k server...

The lower population servers should certainly merge, but Besaid is sitting pretty at around 300+. This is not even the peak time for players o.O

300 is not enough.

Remember when all three cities market ward were in use? Thats what i want back.

That's not a population issue.

This is true, to be fair. For as many do actually remain, nothing stops people from setting up in Gridania and Limsa but people made Ul'dah the hub city.

god people, let them check the population first .-. looking 1 day isn't just enought

I am good with the low pop. I got both my retainers up for the first time in months in uldah.

I'm sure we will have mergers/transfers. Lets let the dust settle so that they can examine the situation and decide how to proceed. The last thing we want is them making a poor decision just because a few of us were playing Zelda and didn't log on today...

The migration to Ul'Dah was a result of the player base needing to stay together in one city so that they could buy, sell, get repairs, leve-link and afk Bazaar. When the population was healthy, you could do all of those things in Limsa and Gridania.

As a Botanist, Carpenter and Archer, i used to live in Gridania. I would love to see its population at the first three months again.

All mmos end up with hub cities honestly.

People just always tend to gather in 1 spot.

Even on populated game, WoW for instance. Each faction gathers in a certain city.

Its true,

FFXI: Lower Jeuno > White Gate > Port Jeuno

Everywhere else = Empty

XD

Yep I remember XI days xD

Bastok Mines > Lower Jeuno > Upper Jeuno (bazaars) > Whitegate ............... > Home Nations for the Maw Teleports to past cities for Campaigns > Whitegate > Port Jeuno > The End.

XIV people just converged into Ul'dah after the main story takes you there and I guess people didn't feel like going back lol.

You know a game is coming to an end when...

Ishgard is going to be the new Jeuno of XIV. I have no doubts. Ul'dah is nice and all, Immortal Flames for life. But Ishgard is going to be THE hub.

Mysidia is at 319 as of 18:17 est

That is only obvious because
1. It will be a relavent place to its content (eg: Whitegate)
2. Its new, people like new.

Uldah atm is popular for many reasons and will still be of valued choice in future because
1. Story puts you there (will change in future no doubt)
2. Its in the middle of like everything, Grid to right, Limsa to left. Mortdhon to top.
3. Everything is close to each other and on 1 ground unlike Limsa
4. its big! =D
5. Everyone hates grid

I cant wait for Ishgard though....

But, but I love Grid :'(
I do feel like either the game or the people kind of "forces" me to hang out in Ul'dah even if I don't want to. That might be my perception only however.

Lol Lindblum? I was playing all day today and had no problems. There are a ton of people on. Your running through Ul'dah too fast and not letting people load fast enough.

Bodhum is...well...not good lol :D

Well..... Selbina is ok I guess. Was still lagging in Ul'dah

When I logged into Fabul earlier on there was 579 people on at around 10pm GMT

Not sure how many are on Cornelia, there was something like 430-440 between level 1 and 49 and over 200 at level 50. I couldn't be bothered breaking level 50 down any more.

It seems this is one of the higher population servers.
